Market Basket employees and customers protested during the summer boycott of the grocery chain.<\/p><\/div>The recent precedent setting Market Basket strike, the historic Bread & Roses strike, and\u00a0 the Occupy movement will be the subject of a panel discussion sponsored by Northern Essex Community College\u2019s \u00a0Department of Global Studies on Friday, Oct. 24, from noon to 1:30 p.m. in the Hartleb Technology Center on the Haverhill campus, 100 Elliott St.,<\/p>\n
